We work closely with our Member Associations to ensure that high-quality, non-judgmental, and confidential sexual and reproductive health services are available and accessible to young people throughout the region.
In Belize, for example, we worked closely with the Belize Family Life Association (BFLA) to build a youth program from the ground up. Focused on reaching vulnerable youth who do not typically access sexual and reproductive health information and services, BFLA's youth programs reach a wide range of young people, including incarcerated youth, sex workers, and LGBT youth. BFLA has trained health care workers, teachers, community leaders, and over 150 peer educators on providing comprehensive sexuality education to young people in and out of school.
Today, BFLA is regarded as one of the most exemplary youth programs in the Caribbean, and across all of Latin America.

Well, not so fast. (A little Lee Corso for you.)
From today's ThinkProgress.org, which normally stays closer to politics than sports. "... In sports, the one entertainment experience that isn't — and can't possibly be — scripted, it isn't cliche at all. It's what happens, whether it's Marshall-to-Louis or Kick, Bama, Kick. It's what happens when it's a team coming back from a three-games-to-none deficit to beat their biggest rival on their way to their first World Series in a century, when it's Lorenzo Charles catching an airball and laying it in to clinch the national title with no time on the clock, when it's a group of upstarts at a largely ridiculed school running a hook-and-lateral then the Statue of Liberty to beat one of college football's biggest stalwarts in the Fiesta Bowl. It's what sports does, and it's brilliant."

I picked Ryan because it is very close to my own hair style. When people say, no one knew they were wearing a wig, they are not lying! No one knew I was wearing this wig, not my hubby, sister, or grown kids. The wig gives me the fullness in front & on top that @ age 60, my thinning hair can no longer do. It is layered out as it lengthens to also mimic my thinning hair. The top/crown is permatease, it sticks up slightly, takes getting use to, but looks natural. The length at the nape of my neck is a little itchy, but well worth the natural look that mimics my own thin hair. I have a small head, but high forehead, so the bangs are perfect, in fact, I leave my bangs out for a more layered look. If debating on this wig style, think Rod Stewart, 80's, a little punky. I mist it with water to take out some of the punk look. I am so excited that I placed an order the next day for a front & top hairpiece, can't wait to try that.

Wanted to love this. Another maker makes a wig like this, which you may recognize. This wig is very close to that style, but this wig has poor stitching. When I can look down on the top of my head and see the wefting seams through the hair, this is a dead giveaway that I am wearing a wig! Hello! If you do not care if someone knows you are wearing a wig, by all means buy this as you will look cute, no doubt, but this is not for the everyday serious wig wearer who wants to pretty much go unnoticed regarding the "wig issue." Sorry I cannot give this 5 stars. So much about Paula Young I love, and let me add now that their return policy is very generous and thank you for providing easy return labels! I have shopped with you over the years going back about 10 years now. There have been some incredible winners that saved me when I really needed them, such as Sheer Satisfaction. I am so happy to see this is back and have bought 3 of them and kept two. I have moved on a bit from that look, but I am keeping these two in reserve for a rainy day when you no longer make it and I want it again. There was also another wig that I so wish I had the name of that you used to make but discontinued and that was so me it was ridiculous.(Let this be a lesson to anybody out there who finds a winner, just stock up) At the time, I took no note of it and thought I would be able to get it back at any time. Not so. I think maybe Dance comes close to that one, but not for me. Also, I had gotten it in Silvery Moon, which used to be my favorite color, back when silvery moon was done in a way that the front was light grey/white and then gradually tapered to off-black. This too has changed, or seems to me it has. Anyway, to get back on track, Some of these wigs are so obvious these days, and I am regretting it as I would rather buy from you than elsewhere, but until the quality shapes up, I am reluctant to reorder anything I am not sure of. I do understand that many of us (myself included) have asked for less hair, and this may be a factor in why I am seeing the wefting. However, let me say that I buy a HUGE amount of wigs and I have been able to get a nice, believeable density of hair without the wefting showing. One of the ways to avoid this at the top is to have a monotop, but that can raise the price. You do have a few monotops that are very reasonable and this is not a problem in those. Hope this sends a message to the CEO.Thanks

Love it!
By Lu
from Cynthiana Ky
Have had to wear wigs for many years, this is my all-time favorite. For the longest time after I first get it out it's a "shake & wear", so easy styling. Love it in my most favorite color 33/28. Will continue to wear this as long as you have it & I hope that is a very long time.

Love this wig, am about to order another
By AnnaBanana
from NY
This wig is cute and a little shaggy. It looks so natural that several people have complimented me on my great haircut. The secretary in my department took pictures of it so she could show her hairdresser how she wants her hair cut.It is lightweight and soft. Some reviews have complained that one can see through the top of it. I don't have that problem. When my chemo is done and my hair has grown back, I am taking this wig to the hairdresser and telling him "Cut and color my hair so it looks as much like this wig as possible."

Absolutely Awesome!
By Jamie

I wear this terrific style when I'm short on time and when I just want a new and different look (when dressed-up or laid back). Have been turning heads and getting great compliments on the natural look. I can't express enough just how very real this wig looks - more the texture of my own hair and it is light and airy. It can be worn comfortably all day.

Really like this bag!
I find this bag good for just everyday use, not just for school. It is a little big, but not too bad. Very pleased.
By: Laura
Good but not great for me
I love this bag. My co-worker had one and so I wanted one. I got my bag and to my great sadness my Surface tablet would not fit. I was so upset. =( So I will be returning this or my friend will buy it from me. I really wanted this to work. I guess I will keep looking.
By: Diane
I do like my purse, but my daughter had to give me hers because she likes to wear it across her chest and since she is 5'8" tall and I'm just 5 ' it does not fit her well. I do wear across my chest for safety reasons.
My Galaxy tablet is a snug fit.
By: Victoria
I get so many compliments!
I love this purse because: it is so sturdy, lots of compartments to keep everything organized and the best thing you can wash & drip dry and it still looks amazing!
By: Barbara
Have used all kinds of different bags to carry my stuff while traveling, but always came home disappointed in one way or another. The number one complaint being that my shoulders would just be so painful after a day lugging my stuff around.
This year I just happen to past by the bag, BROOKLYN WOMEN'S TABLET PURSE, and thought I would give t a try, but I will have to admit, not with much enthusiasm.
Whoa! I was not only pleased, but amazed! Not one day did I ever complain about the discomfort of the weight on my shoulder.
Only wish? I wish they had design in a bigger version when you needed more items. This one is good for simple grab and go item and electronics.
By: Laura
Best bag I've bought, it fits my ipad and case, giant drink bottle and lunch perfectly. I've been using it for about a year and am thinking of buying another colour.
By: Barbara
Really intelligent bag
This bag is a solution to problems I didn't know I had until I got it. Bright fabric inside makes finding things easy. It has logical divisions and the front zipper pocket is an easy access to my phone. If the zipper is only partially closed you don't have to unbutton the very cute buttons to get into it. Got great compliments the first time I had it with me. Big yay!
By: Kim
Cute but flawed
I love this bag for a lot of reasons. It's cute. It holds a lot of things. It has zippered pockets so you know nothing will fall out. However, there are 2 things I don't like about it. 2 of the 3 buttons fell off within about a month of owning it. One of them I never found so I can't even sew them back on. And the strap isn't adjustable. I'm a large woman and I can't wear it across my body because it sits on my breast, which is just awkward.
By: Jamie
Good Bag....but
I bought this bag about 8 months ago and I really like it. The middle button is now discolored, it turned a little lighter than the others. It is big enough to fit my I pad with plenty of room for a wallet and other junk. Overall a good bag but it did have that little problem.
By: Jessica
Love this bag, but...
I have the red bag and I love it, but the strap has a single connecting stitch that rests on the shoulder while wearing it. The weight of the purse contents put stress on the stitching and has now begun to come apart. My sister in laws yellow one is doing the same thing. I am going to contact customer service in hopes of a little help with it, if no resolve I may just have to break out the sewing machine

Frequently Asked Questions
The information below should help you get started with the Softcup. If you have any additional questions, please ask the doctor!
Evofem has not studied the post-intercourse placement of an Instead Softcup as a method to help improve the probability of conception. The use of Softcup as a pregnancy aid has not been cleared by the FDA.
When Softcup is inserted correctly, you should not feel it. If you feel discomfort after inserting the cup, try inserting it again. It should stay in place behind your pubic bone.
Softcup is made of inert, hypoallergenic, non absorbent, non-irritating polymeric material that has been used safely for more than 20 years in health care products such as catheters and baby bottle nipples.
Here are some of the benefits of Softcup that our customers rave about:
- Softcup is great for busy women or women who just don't want to think about changing a tampon every few hours—Softcup can be worn for up to 12 hours
- Softcup can be worn during sexual intercourse
- You can't feel the Softcup when you're wearing it
- You can wear Softcup during any physical activity—including swimming, sports and sex
- Get a full night's sleep with Softcup; it can be worn overnight
- Softcup eliminates menstrual odor cause by the menstrual flow being exposed to air
- Softcup is comfortable and does not cause irritation or dryness
- Softcup is not linked to Toxic Shock Syndrome (see question on toxic shock syndrome)
- You can wear one reusable Softcup through the duration of your period, saving you money and the environment
- Softcup has no wings and no strings
No; Softcup is for period protection. Softcup cannot be used as a contraceptive nor to prevent sexually transmitted infections.
Yes, you can have clean, comfortable sex while wearing reusable Softcup. Softcup is not a contraceptive and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Reusable Softcup is made of the same medical grade elastomer and polyethylene material as disposable Softcup. It has been cleared by the FDA and is the same material as is used in catheters and baby bottle nipples. It contains no latex, silicone, phthalates, Bisphenol-a (BPA) nor dioxins. It contains no residual fibers, bleach, pesticides, carcinogens nor polycarbonates (PCBs).
No, do not sterilize reusable Softcup between uses. To store the cup for an extended period of time, wash thoroughly with mild soap, dry completely and store in a ventilated container. DO NOT store in a closed airtight container or sealable plastic bag. DO NOT boil or microwave reusable Softcup.
The insertion and wear time for reusable Softcup are the same as for disposable Softcup. Please refer to the Softcup FAQs for insertion instructions and information about the advantages of Softcup.
No, Softcup cannot be recycled, nor can other feminine hygiene products.
If you experience discomfort after inserting Softcup, it may be inserted incorrectly (see question on fit). It's important to read the directions fully to learn how to insert the Softcup, as it's slightly different from inserting a tampon. For a small percentage of women, Softcup may be too large. If so, it will protrude slightly from the vaginal opening and you may experience difficulty in getting it behind your pubic bone. If you normally experience menstrual cramps, Softcup will probably not change the cramping that you experience.
No. The vagina (and virginity) is not altered by use of a Softcup, tampon, or other vaginal device. There are no age restrictions to using Softcup.
No, do not flush the Softcup or the wrapper, as this can damage plumbing. To dispose Softcup, empty the menstrual fluid into a toilet, and put it into the wrapper or wrap it in toilet tissues, and throw it into the trash.
To remove the Softcup we recommend sitting on the toilet with your knees apart. Insert your finger into the vagina and locate the pubic bone; the Softcup rim will be right behind it. If you push or "bear down" with your muscles, that will help push the Softcup down to more easily reach it. Hook your finger under the rim. Don't worry; your fingernails cannot puncture the cup. (Some women use their middle finger to remove the cup, as the middle finger tends to be longer than the index finger.) Very slowly pull Softcup out, keeping it horizontal and level to the floor. Do not pull down like you do with a tampon, as this can cause spillage. Do not twist; just pull steadily.
It is not unusual for first time users to make more than one attempt to remove Softcup. You may want to practice removing Softcup for the first time when you are not on your period and when you are in the privacy of your own bathroom. Softcup cannot be lost inside your body, and it can be worn safely up to twelve hours.
Other removal tips: You may want to try removing Softcup for the first time when you are having a light flow day or no period. WE recommend your first try to be when you are in the privacy of your own bathroom. Removing Softcup can be awkward until you have some practice. Remain relaxed for easy removal. Some women find that crouching in a warm shower makes removal easier because they are relaxed and less concerned about spillage. Always remember to remove your last Softcup when your period is done.
The Softcup is not a tampon or pad. It is a soft, disposable cup you wear to collect, rather than absorb, your monthly flow. You can wear Softcup for up to 12 hours.
No, Softcup does not have an expiration date.
If you can still feel Softcup after you have inserted it, it has either been inserted incorrectly or it may be too large. We recommend you fully read the instructions, and check our FAQs to insert Softcup properly. If Softcup is too large for you, you will know right away because Softcup will not stay in place behind your pubic bone. If after insertion the Softcup tends to slide out or you cannot get the rim behind the pubic bone then the Softcup is probably too large.
We recommend that women using an intrauterine device or IUD talk to their doctor before using Softcup as there is a risk of dislodging or removing the IUD by pulling on the IUD string while removing the Softcup. Your doctor may be able to help you determine whether there are steps you may take to safely use the Softcup and your IUD simultaneously, such as trimming the IUD string.
We recommend that women using an intrauterine device or IUD talk to their doctor before using Softcup as there is a risk of dislodging or removing the IUD by pulling on the IUD string while removing the Softcup. Your doctor may be able to help you determine whether there are steps you may take to safely use the Softcup and your IUD simultaneously, such as trimming the IUD string.
Women who have had recent gynecologic surgery (such as Leep, Laser, cone biopsy for dysplasia of the cervix) and have been advised not to use tampons, should also avoid use of the Softcup for the recommended time.
Women who have ever had TSS should not use any internal sanitary protection product, including Softcup. Women who have just had a child, miscarriage or abortion, or have been told they have a tilted uterus, should consult with a physician before using Softcup. There are no age limitations on the use of the Softcup and it can be worn by virgins.
Laboratory studies show that the Instead Softcup does not promote growth of the bacterium Staphylococcus Aureus, the bacterium believed to cause Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). To date, we have not had any reported cases of TSS.
Although TSS can occur in men, children and women, it is a disease that mostly affects menstruating women who use tampons. Population studies suggest that the risk of TSS is related to tampon absorbency; the higher the tampon absorbency, the higher the risk of contracting TSS; the lower the absorbency, the lower the risk of TSS. Unlike tampons, the Instead Softcup is non-absorbent; it holds rather than absorbs menstrual fluid. However, consumer usage of Softcup has not been extensive enough to date to quantify the risk of TSS, if any, while using Softcup. As a precaution, users must change Softcup after 12 hours maximum wear time. TSS is a rare but serious disease that may cause death. The warning signs include a sudden high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, a rash that looks like sunburn, dizziness, fainting or near fainting and muscle aches. TSS can progress rapidly from flu-like symptoms to a serious illness that can be fatal. If you have any of these signs and you are using Softcup, remove it and immediately contact your physician for medical care.
Yes, the disposable Softcup is available in the U.S. and other countries. Click here to view a list of international distributors. If you cannot find Softcup in your area, you can order Softcup through this website. The reusable Softcup is only available online at softcup.com
No, do not flush reusable Softcup. When you are ready to discard it you will need to place it in the wastebasket in the same manner as other feminine hygiene products.
Once your cycle is complete or if washing becomes inconvenient, you may discard your reusable Softcup in the wastebasket, as you would for other feminine hygiene products.
You can wear Softcup whenever you need feminine protection. If your periods are regular, you can insert Softcup just before you get your period to help prevent accidents or staining clothes. You can also wear Softcup any day of the month that you experience normal irregular bleeding; for example, due to hormonal birth control or peri-menopause.
Just like when you may have learned to use tampons, it will take some time to determine how long you can wear Softcup, depending on your flow. Softcup can safely be worn for up to 12 hours. On heavy flow days you may need to change it more frequently. The first time you try Softcup, we recommend trying it on a lighter flow day, or when you go to bed. You'll soon get accustomed to it and learn how frequently you need to change Softcup.
You may notice some leakage when going to the bathroom. This is normal, because when you urinate or have a bowel movement, your muscles "bear down" and can push the rim slightly forward, allowing some fluid to leak out and into the toilet. When you are finished, Softcup usually moves back into position and the leaking stops; or to be sure, you can use a clean finger to reposition the Softcup.
If you experience leakage during heavy exercise or during intercourse, you may have waited too long to change Softcup. We recommend that you insert a new Softcup before intercourse or before engaging in strenuous physical activity. And of course, just as a reminder, the Softcup is not a contraceptive and does not protect you from sexually transmitted infections.
Inserting a Softcup is slightly different from inserting a tampon, so before trying Softcup read all of the usage instructions that are included in the package, including the warnings. Like all new activities, such as putting in contact lenses or using a tampon, it may seem awkward at first. It might take a little time to learn how to properly insert and remove. We recommend that you try Softcup during your light flow days to make sure you become familiar with its use. Give yourself plenty of time to experiment with Softcup, and remember to relax. The first time you use Softcup on a heavy flow day you may want to use a pantyliner just for added protection. You will soon learn just how often to change Softcup. Like tampons, if you leave Softcup in too long it will leak.
Stick with it. We believe the benefits of using Softcup more than make up for the initial time it may take to learn how to use it. If you have any questions, please call as at 800-INSTEAD. We'd be happy to walk you through the process. Or, you can watch some tutorial videos here.
You can purchase Softcup at the following stores:
- CVS.com
- Drugstore.com
- Fred Meyer
- Kroger
- Longs
- Raley's
- Ralph's
- Rite Aid
- Walgreens
- Wal-Mart
If you cannot find Softcup in your store, we urge you to ask the manager to carry Softcup. You can also order Softcup online.
The reusable Softcup is available online at softcup.com
You can order Softcup through this website, or by calling us toll-free: 877-367-9636 or view a list of stores that carry Instead Softcup. If you do not find Softcup in a store or chain that we name in our list of retailers, please email firstname.lastname@example.com with the name and location of the store. You may also ask the manager of the store to begin to stock the item, which they often do if they get several customer requests.
Reusable Softcup is available at Fred Meyer stores and at some local natural products stores, as well as online at drugstore.com and softcup.com.
You may want to start by learning more about your own vaginal anatomy. Begin by inserting your finger just an inch or so into your vaginal opening. Then slide your finger further in until you can feel your cervix at the end of your vagina. Your cervix is the bottom part of your uterus. It is knob-shaped and about 2 or 3 centimeters in diameter.
Before inserting Softcup, wash your hands. The first time you insert Softcup, we recommend sitting on the toilet with your knees apart. When you are in this position, your vaginal canal is horizontal, sloping slightly downward. To insert Softcup, hold it so that the collection reservoir area hangs down from the bottom of the rim. Squeeze the opposite sides of the rim together. When squeezed for insertion, Softcup is about the same size as a tampon. Gently slide Softcup into your vaginal canal, back and down toward your tailbone. Softcup will slide into place under the cervix and behind the pubic bone and will come to rest naturally in the space just below the cervix. Do not tilt the inside edge of the cup upward as you insert it, because it will bunch up in front of the cervix instead of slipping under and into place behind the cervix where it should be. Watch a video on insertion and removal.
If you want to check if Softcup is properly in place, insert your finger and feel for the bottom of Softcup. You should feel your cervix inside the cup.
When Softcup is inserted properly, you shouldn't feel it. If you feel something in the vaginal canal, Softcup is probably not far enough inside you. Just remove it and try again, sliding it back and tilted slightly downward. Remember, it will be much easier if you are relaxed. If you are still unable to insert it until it slides comfortably into place, Softcup may be too large for you. This may be true for a small percentage of women. If you want to double check on the fit or size of the Softcup, take one with you the next time you visit your doctor or nurse practitioner. She can check it for you.
No, there is absolutely no latex in Softcup, and it is safe and comfortable for use by women that have latex allergies or sensitivities.
Yes, teenage girls can wear Softcup. There are no age restrictions with this product. However, teens should thoroughly review instructions on proper fit and insertion before trying Softcup. Also, successful placement and removal of Softcup requires knowledge and a level of comfort with your body.
No, you cannot insert Softcup too far. When properly inserted, the rim of the cup is lodged between the pubic bone (which is just inside the vagina) and the very back of the vagina, and the cup should cover the cervix. The cervix is a fleshy knob that feels like the tip of your nose. The cervix is another name for the bottom of your uterus. The menstrual flow comes out of the uterus through a very small opening in the cervix. The Softcup cannot get lost inside the body since this opening is much too narrow.
Yes, you can urinate or have a bowel movement while wearing the Softcup. You may notice slight menstrual fluid leakage during this time, which is completely normal. When your muscles "bear down" they can push the rim slightly forward, allowing some fluid to leak out and into the toilet. When you are finished, Softcup moves back into position and the leakage stops. If this is the only time you observe leakage, it is normal and the Softcup is inserted correctly.
Reusable Softcup is designed to be used throughout one entire menstrual cycle, and can be worn up to 12 hours before being removed, rinsed and reinserted. Once the cup is full, or if you have reached the 12-hour maximum wear time, it will need to be removed, emptied, rinsed and reinserted.
You may wash reusable Softcup with lukewarm water and mild soap if you wish. Or, just use water if you prefer. To store for an extended period of time, wash thoroughly with a mild unscented soap, dry completely and store in a ventilated container. DO NOT store it in a sealable plastic bag or airtight container. DO NOT boil or microwave reusable Softcup.
Many women find it convenient to use and reuse one reusable Softcup at the start of each period and discard it at the end of their cycle or when washing or cleaning becomes inconvenient. When washing or rinsing facilities are unavailable Softcup may also simply be emptied and reinserted.
Reusable Softcup is designed to be used throughout one entire menstrual cycle. Like disposable Softcup, reusable Softcup is made from non-toxic, hypoallergenic, latex-free material. However, reusable Softcup was specifically designed for multiple uses for up to one cycle. Reusable Softcup's reservoir is more durable than the disposable cup, to extend its use. Once the cup is full, or if you reach the 12-hour maximum wear time, you should remove, empty, rinse and reinsert reusable Softcup.
The disposable Softcup is designed as a single-use menstrual collection cup. Each Softcup is safe for use for up to 12 hours.
The reusable Softcup is designed for reuse for up to one menstrual cycle. Reusable Softcup is safe for use for up to 12 hours at a time.
Softcup differs from other menstrual cups in both its design and its features.
There are two types of Softcups: disposable and reusable. The disposable Softcup is designed to be discarded after a single use, however you can use one reusable Softcup throughout the duration of your period and then dispose of it when your period ends. Each cup is designed to last up to 12 hours of wear time before it should be removed and discarded. If you are using the reusable Softcup, after 12 hours the cup will need to be emptied, rinsed and reinserted.
Softcup is worn in a different position than other menstrual cups. Softcup sits high up in the vagina, just below the cervix and behind the pubic bone. Other menstrual cups sit lower, suspended in the vaginal canal where a tampon would sit.
Softcup can be worn during intercourse for mess-free sex on your period. Other menstrual cups, due to their placement in the vaginal canal, do not allow for intercourse while they are being used.
Softcup is made of medical grade material consisting of elastomers and mineral oil. Most other menstrual cups are made of either latex rubber or silicone, with the exception of a few made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
The length of time you can wear the Softcup depends on your level of flow. From a health standpoint, you can safely wear the Softcup for up to 12 hours. On heavy flow days you may need to change the Softcup more often to avoid leakage. Just like when you may have learned to use tampons, as you gain more experience with the Softcup, you'll learn how frequently you need to change your Softcup. Women often overestimate the amount of menstrual flow during a period—the average amount of flow is only about two tablespoons (30 ml) for the entire length of the period, which on average lasts two to seven days.
Yes, you can have clean, comfortable sex with the Softcup in place. Although individual experience may vary, most likely neither you nor your partner will feel the Softcup. To help avoid leakage on heavy flow days, we recommend inserting a new Softcup before intercourse. Remember that Softcup is not a contraceptive and does not protect you from pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections.
The Softcup has had extensive toxicology, biocompatibility and microbiological laboratory testing. It has also undergone human clinical testing and has been used by thousands of women since it went on the market in 1996. All results support the safety of Softcup when used as directed. The cup is compatible with a woman's internal tissues, does not promote infection, and is not likely to cause an allergic reaction. Softcup is made of inert, hypoallergenic, non absorbent, non-irritating polymeric material that has been used safely for more than 20 years in health care products such as catheters and baby bottle nipples. Softcup contains no latex. The Softcup does not leave fibers behind in your body. Read more in the Health Info section.
If you feel itching, redness or swelling after you have inserted the Softcup, gently remove it and discontinue use. Just like any period protection product, It is possible that a few individuals could be sensitive to the materials in this product.
No, Softcup is "one size fits most." This single size was chosen after significant design research showed that it fit almost all women comfortably and securely. A small minority of women may find the cup does not fit.

I understand what you are saying - it just seems so wrong. Should be a way to buy the cheap VDI connector so I can use my "free" software.
Actually, it's designed the way it is so that the software isn't actually free - Line 6 provides software piracy protection via the hardware. Anybody can go ahead and download the 'free' software. But you can't use it unless you buy a Line 6 hardware device - either a Pod processor (relatively expensive, so they're able to include the software) or the Workbench hardware interface which is more expensive than it need be. Why? To pay for the software development.

I've just been reminded of this video in an article I'm reading.
It's one of the first videos we show the (mostly) first-year students in the unit I teach. It's really interesting to watch it now, I think, in a "look how far we've come" kind of way. I research the Internet for a (pseudo) living, and the speed with which it evolves still blows my mind on the reg.
The guy who made it, Michael Wesch, is a cultural anthropologist who does some really interesting stuff in digital ethnography, which is right up my alley (of course). I'd definitely recommend having a read of his blog if you're at all interested that kinda thing.

Hours of Operation:
8:00 AM- 5:00 PM Mon-Fri
University Sustainability Efforts, Recommendations and Energy Conservation Tips
The university has embarked on an Energy Conservation program with the goal of reducing energy consumption by 4% per year for the next five years.
Sustainability Committee Mission Statement
Strategic Energy Conservation Plan
The university has submitted a Strategic Energy Conservation plan to the State Energy Office. The plan calls for:
- Review and analysis of utilities accounts and consumption
- Establishment of benchmark consumption
- Establishment of a campus Sustainability Committee
- Study feasibility of electrical, steam, chilled water, and gas sub-metering
- Study feasibility of installing unoccupied-mode controls in facilities
A campus Conservation Awareness Team will be established. Contact Dick Kabis at (336) 750-2870 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Energy Conservation Tips
- Turn off room lights when exiting and when not in use.
- Use fluorescent task lighting for office work and turn off general lighting.
- Replace incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient and money-saving fluorescent bulbs.
- Eliminate individual office kitchen appliance use (e.g., refrigerators, microwave ovens, coffee makers, etc.) and consolidate to single break room units.
- Eliminate space heaters from all offices and rooms.
- Eliminate personal energy-consuming items such as fish tanks, decorative lighting, etc.
- Turn off computers, printers and other office equipment at night, if not equipped with energy-saving features.
- The North Carolina Energy code requires adherence to the following room temperature guidelines: Summer / 74 - 76 degrees F, and Winter / 70 - 72 degrees F.
- Request vending machine lights be turned off.
- Ensure water faucets are turned fully off.
- Report energy wasters; for example, outside lighting turned on during daylight hours or leaking faucets. Submit a work request to to schedule repairs.
An average space heater consumes 1400 watts (1.4 kilowatt) per hour. This is equivalent to the energy required by fourteen 100-watt bulbs. Based on actual utility costs, the university pays $.060 per kilowatt-hour in the winter. Therefore, the cost to the University of each space heater on campus is $48 per heating season.

As I exited Balena a week or so ago, a passing stranger stopped me.
"Good restaurant?" he asked, jerking his head toward the door. I nodded enthusiastically.
"Great pizzas," I said.
And in that split-second, I fear I gave Balena, which opened two months ago, insufficient praise. Yes, the pizzas are terrific, tantalizingly thin but with puffy, oil-glossed, satisfyingly chewy edges. I could eat the spicy-sausage version, or the mortadella-pistachio-onion combo, every day.
But the pastas are sensational too. And the desserts — dear Lord, the desserts.
The carbo-centric trio devising all this goodness consists of chef Chris Pandel and pastry chef Amanda Rockman (who also head up the kitchen at The Bristol) and Peter Becker, previously of the Peninsula Chicago and Charlie Trotter's.
Becker runs the restaurant's bread program, which includes the doughs that go into those terrific pizzas and pastas. But your first exposure to his work will likely be "Peter's bread," a $6 basket that includes a half-dozen breads (including a killer lemon-pepper challah), accompanied by olive oil, lemon marmalade and whipped ricotta. There also are nicely curated cheese and salumi assortments available, or you can get all three (at a nice discount) by ordering the Balena platter. The only danger is that the platter might leave you too sated to continue.
Pastas dazzle. The ribbonlike tajarin, topped with pork ragu, oozes rusticity, as do the olives, braised rabbit and fried rosemary that grace twisty strozzapreti (which, sadly, has left the menu). The knockout composition is the thin tagliolini nero, which has a nice, assertive chew but is more delicate than its dark, squid-ink color would suggest. Tossed with butter, mint and serrano peppers (the heat level is mild) and topped with sweet-salty crabmeat and sweet-creamy sea urchin, this dish delivers balanced complexity in every bite, and I love the look of the pale-white crab and soft-orange urchin against the black-pasta background.
Yes, there is more to Balena than bread alone. There are meaty hunks of charred quail with hazelnuts, placed over hazelnut-butter-drizzled escarole; and a lovely composition of chilled asparagus with chopped egg and goat cheese. Burrata cheese from Zingerman's in Michigan matches seamlessly with roasted beets and celery root, though the dish needs an assertive accent. A crudo of lightly smoked mackerel is not for the faint of heart — mackerel is an oil-heavy fish — but matched to a soft-cooked egg, held in place by a nurturing garlic aioli, it's practically comfort food.
The grilled and rotisserie selection is small, but there are treats, such as very good salt-and-pepper chicken thighs over watercress salad. The pork chop scaloppini gets great support from a perfectly dressed arugula-lemon salad, and a special of suckling pig with salsa verde and pickled ramps showed promise, but with both dishes, the pork was unevenly cooked, extremely underdone in spots.
Desserts are created by Amanda Rockman, whose compositions are so beguiling she might consider changing her name to Amanda Rockstar. Highlighting her 10-item list are the composed sundaes, which offer thoughtful combinations and absolutely pure flavors. Super-dense chocolate gelato dressed with sea salt and olive oil is superb, but it's the dense chocolate flavor that sells it. Pistachio gelato comes with cubes of pistachio nougat, balanced with orange and burnt-orange caramel. My favorite would have to be the blueberry, a virtual pie-in-a-glass combining blueberry gelato and compote, a bit of lemon sorbetto, crumbled dough (for that pie-shell flavor) and a lattice-shaped Linzer tuile.
More classic desserts include affogato, to which Rockman appends two cinnamon-dusted doughnuts, one of those why-haven't-I-seen-this-before touches, and an updated tiramisu that adds crunchy/nutty coffee streusel and espresso-roasted pear to an otherwise traditional rendering. The "coeur de la creme" vanilla semifreddo comes with a sweet take on panzanella, tossing strawberries and poached rhubarb with bread cubes cooked with so much butter and sugar they're like nuggets of toffee.
Balena is a joint venture between the Bristol team (John Ross and Phillip Walters, along with Pandel and Rockman) and the Boka Group (Kevin Boehm, Rob Katz), which operates Boka, Girl & the Goat, GT Fish & Oyster and Perennial Virant. Balena may be more a second Bristol than it is a fifth Boka; all I know is that these guys haven't missed yet.
Pizza-and-pasta restaurants are not places one goes in search of imagination, but Balena is the delirious exception. If you're cutting carbs, steer clear of Balena. But it's your loss.

We are just five days from an annual Philadelphia tradition kicking off, the Mummers Parade.
Come January, the event will welcome in the New Year for 114 years.
The fancies, the strings, and the comics are all putting on the final touches for the event.
FOX 29's Jennifer Joyce is live behind the scenes at the convention center where preparations are underway.
Cutting, drilling, painting--a behind the scenes look at the fancy brigade prepping for the 114th mummers parade on New Year's Day.
"In 1901, we started doing it on Broad Street, and it became – captured the imagination, I think, of people in the city, especially on Second Street and in South Philly," City Parade Director Leo Dignam said.
The long-running Philadelphia tradition is going strong.
"It's more of a passion, like Rose-Bowl-meets-Mardi-Gras Parade," said Charlie Kueny, the financial secretary of the fancy brigade.
Kueny has been a mummer for 36 years.
"If it's in your blood, it's hard to walk away," he said.
This year, the brigade welcomes its newest club, the Spartan Fancy Brigade. The parade is continuing its push to appeal to the entire family, which Dignam said includes, "more bleacher seats, (portable toilets), restrooms, food trucks …"
Crews will be working 12-hour days through New Year's Eve to put the finishing touches on their floats and prepare to compete before tens of thousands of spectators.
"We have groups coming in from Spain, Ireland and most states in the U.S.," Dignam said.
According to city officials, a heavy volume of visitors could mean an economic impact of as much as $20 million for Philadelphia.

Boulder >Bars & Clubs > Pearl Street Pub & Cellar
1108 Pearl St, Boulder, CO | Directions 8030240.017036 -105.284082
Monday To Sunday From 12:00 PM To 01:30 AM
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central Boulder
The best seam ever!! – I could not believe how my granite kitchen and baths turned out. I cam barely see the seam. looks much better than some others ive seen in public. i was worried how ugly that one seam was going to be but i can't hardly tell its there. I'd recommend Water's for a good job not just a price.
some problems – All in all, a great bar. But I have stopped getting drinks upstairs because of that Hawaiian dude. There is no crowd of people that inspires him to move more quickly in the slightest. Nor does any crowd of patrons discourage him from chit-chatting with someone for as long as he wants, which is no short 'hello.' But, otherwise, a great bar.
The Pub is pretty sweet. Great barbecue pork sandwich on wednesdays and hot ladies during the nights. Dont forget to kiss the buffalo.
Boulder's closest thing to a dive bar is on gentrified, touristy Pearl Street. – In Short
It's three bars in one: the upstairs pub, the music-filled back room, and the grungy basement pool and foosball room. Visitors are likely to see old men hunched over whiskey, pool hustlers, rowdy regulars and stumbling college kids. The menu offers the basics: burgers, brats and sandwiches. In microbrew country, it's refreshing to find Guinness and Harp on tap and see people actually drinking cocktails. But there are local brews to be had.
Thanks for reading. – Best of luck in your business. I hope you have many great nights of high quality music. And may all your dreams come true!
Relaxing with "Real People" – A great place to go just to relax. Nobody here is trying to be something they are not. Get bartender rapport with the customers, and unbeatable specials. Not a better place on pearl street to people watch then the patio of "The Pub". Great bartenders with Kat, Kyle, Etc.
The cook could lose the attitude, but aside from that it the best bar in Boulder. Smoking in the basement, With a typical crowd of regulars always willing to share a game of pool or start a conversation about anything under the sun.

Tim Tebow has turned down an offer to play a position other than QB for a NFL team.
That's the word from Sports Illustrated's Peter King, who during NBC's Thursday night NFL kickoff show reported that Tebow "wants to keep the NFL dream alive."
King reported that Tebow was contacted by an NFL team about trying out for a position other than quarterback, but he declined.
The former Gators quarterback, who was cut by the Patriots before the season began, reportedly has also turned down offers to play in the Canadian Football League as well as an offer to switch sports and play for USA Rugby.
"Tebow only wants to play in the NFL and will only return if given the chance to play quarterback," SI.com reported.
NFL.com reported, "It's hard to knock Tebow for his unwillingness to change positions. He hasn't made it at quarterback, and there's little reason to think he could succeed at another spot. Tebow tipped his intentions after the Patriots released him when he wrote on Twitter: 'I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback.' "

Once upon a time, in small cottage in Mountain Village, there lived two little girls who loved princesses….
Fairy tales seem to be the substance of my children's current cerebral existence. Our weekly trips to the library procure stacks of stories about helpless princesses, evil witches and wicked step-families, all embroiled in good-versus-evil struggles that usually find the brave and strong swooping down to rescue the beautiful and meek from the clutches of the malevolent. There is always some violent struggle in which the villain comes to some unsavory end – like my personal favorite, when Gretel pushes the witch into the oven.
The thematic underpinnings of these classic tales certainly convey questionable morals: Foolish girls are saved by handsome princes, violence is required to overcome evil, and wishes always come true.
These storybook legends have shaped children's worldviews for generations, and even with their kinder and gentler, Disneyfied permutations, are far from "politically correct."
So when my girls and I settle in to read our most recent fairy tale, I do so with an air of wary acquiescence.
A recent study by a British TV channel found that many parents have in fact stopped reading fairy tales to their young children, either because they're too scary or foster sexist and classist premises. And that study was referring to the modern versions of classic folk tales! Original versions of Cinderella, Snow White and The Little Mermaid seem grossly inappropriate for small children of any era: In the Brothers Grimm version of Cinderella, the nasty stepsisters cut off parts of their own feet in order to fit them into the glass slipper, and birds eventually peck out their eyes.
Hans Christian Andersen's original version of The Little Mermaid ends with the mermaid witnessing the prince's marriage to a human princess, and in despair, she jumps into the sea and dies by turning to froth.
Snow White's evil queen is forced to dance herself to death wearing red-hot iron shoes, and Hansel and Gretel's father abandons them in a forest to starve (but for some reason, only their stepmother is portrayed as the bad guy).
Analyzing the foundations of these tales begs the question: Are these stories really suitable for children? And if not, why do they carry on as children's most beloved legends?
The work of Maria Tatar, a professor at Harvard University who writes about and teaches classes on fairy tales, offered some enlightenment on why children love fairy tales, and why – even if they are unsavory – we continue to share them with our kids. "Fairy tales have a real role in liberating the imagination of children. No matter how violent they are, the protagonist always survives," she writes.
As she explains, fairy tales emerged from an oral tradition, passed down through generations by retellings long before being inscribed on paper. Thus, as she suggests, we should never consider there to be an "original" version of any fairy tale, since the basis of these stories is merely a reflection of the world and time in which they were shared. When the Brothers Grimm were compiling folklores, for example, the world was a more dark and dangerous place; the stories from that time were thus merely reflections of that era.
Children are drawn to such stories because they have the ability to excite the imagination while simultaneously exploring the darker corridors of human existence. "The tales not only have this magical, glittery sparkle, but also a dark, horrific side that stages our deepest anxieties and fears," Tatar explains.
Children, even at their youngest age, crave knowledge about adult matters: We talk about violence, unrest, and death in hushed tones around our kids, because we don't believe they are appropriate subjects for a child's impressionable mind. We want to protect them from the grim realities of life. But as any parent knows, children are smarter than we give them credit for, and wildly curious to boot – possessing a strong desire to seek out the knowledge adults try to keep from them.
The well-known writer and child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim believed fairy tales are important to children's development because the main characters, many of them children themselves, are clever and brave and possess the ability to triumph over adversity in a world of giants and cruel adults.
"They work through so many personal and cultural anxieties, yet they do it in a safe, 'once upon a time' way," he says.
Perhaps Tatar and Bettelheim's assertions about why fairy tales are OK merely serve as convenient justifications for my wary acceptance of my kids' insatiable desire for stories starring princesses and evil stepmothers. But maybe those unwholesome, politically incorrect components really are preparing my girls for the real world – where both good and evil really do exist.

Authorities on Friday were searching for two men who reportedly tied up a 56-year-old woman in her Oxnard mobile home and stole money and other valuables, police said.
Police received a 911 call at 7 a.m. Friday from the Colony Mobile Home Park in the 2400 block of East Pleasant Valley Road. Officers found a woman with her hands tied behind her back with a rope, officials said. She was not injured.
The woman told police that she was confronted by two unknown men when she arrived home about 11 p.m. Thursday. The men demanded money and other valuables before tying the woman to a chair and fleeing, according to Oxnard police.
Anyone with information on the incident should call Detective Steven Funk at 385-7796.

HPV vaccines
Can you tell me about the vaccine to prevent HPV (human papilloma virus)?
This page is about the vaccines to prevent HPV which prevents cervical cancer. There is information about
- What the human papilloma virus (HPV) is
- HPV and cancer
- Research into vaccines to prevent HPV
- The HPV vaccination programme
- Men and boys and the vaccine
There are over 100 different types of human papilloma virus (HPV). It is sometimes called the wart virus or genital wart virus because some types of HPV cause genital warts. A number of HPV types are passed on from one person to another through sexual contact. Many women will be infected with the HPV virus at some point during their lifetime. Often the virus causes no harm and goes away without treatment.
Some types of HPV can increase the risk of developing cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is cancer of the neck of the womb. Almost 3,400 women are diagnosed with this type of cancer every year in the UK. Most women infected with HPV don't go on to develop cervical cancer. But for some, infection with HPV can go on to cause
- Genital warts
- Changes in the cervix, which may develop into cervical cancer
- Changes in the vaginal tissues, which may develop into vaginal cancer
Of the different types of HPV, types 16 and 18 cause about 7 out of 10 (70%) cancers of the cervix. Most of the remaining 30% of cervical cancers are associated with other high risk HPV types. HPV types 6 and 11 cause genital warts but are rarely linked to cancer. You can find out more about the risks and causes of cervical cancer in our cervical cancer section. HPV is also a risk factor for other types of cancer including vulval cancer, anal cancer, cancer of the penis and mouth and oropharyngeal cancers.
Several research trials have tested vaccines as a way of preventing infection with HPV. There are 2 cervical cancer vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix. A trial testing Gardasil called FUTURE II reported its results in October 2005. This phase 3 trial involved over 12,000 women aged between 16 and 26. These women did not have HPV before the start of the trial. The women were divided into 2 groups. Half the women were given Gardasil and the other half had a dummy vaccine (placebo). Both groups of women had 3 injections of either the vaccine or placebo over 6 months.
Over the following 2 years the women had regular checks to see if they had got HPV, or had any pre cancerous changes to the cells of the cervix, which could develop into a cancer. The group who had the vaccine showed no pre cancerous changes. Of the 5,258 women who had the placebo, 21 had pre cancerous changes, which is 0.4%. The researchers found that Gardasil protected against HPV types 6 and 11 (which cause about 90% of genital warts), as well as 16 and 18. Gardasil was licensed in the UK in September 2006 for girls and women aged between 9 and 26.
Two phase 3 trials have tested the vaccine Cervarix. The first was for women under 26. It involved over 18,000 women from all over the world, including the UK. This study was called PATRICIA (PApilloma TRIal to prevent Cervical cancer In young Adults). The second was for women of 26 and over. The trials found that Cervarix was useful in preventing HPV infection. Cervarix was licensed in the UK in 2007 for the prevention of pre cancerous changes in the cervix in girls and women between the age of 10 and 25.
There is not enough evidence at the moment that the vaccine prevents other types of cancer. Research has shown that Gardasil can prevent the development of anal warts which are caused by HPV types 6 and 11. At the moment we don't know whether the vaccine will prevent HPV infection in the mouth. There is research going on to look at the link between HPV and these other types of cancer and how to prevent it.
In the UK, girls in year 8 at school (aged 12 to 13) are offered the HPV vaccine. Girls have three injections over 6 months. A letter about the vaccine and a consent form is sent to the parents of the girl before she has the vaccine. It is up to her whether she has the vaccine.
From September 2012, the vaccination programme will use Gardasil. This vaccine protects against genital warts as well as cervical cancer.
It is possible to have the vaccination privately. The cost for private treatment varies from doctor to doctor. We are hearing reports of about £400 being charged for a course of 3 injections.
If girls take up the vaccination at school, the programme will prevent at least 7 out of 10 cancers of the cervix (70%) and possibly even more in the future. But it takes between 10 and 20 years for a cancer to develop after HPV infection. So any benefits in reducing cervical cancer won't be seen for quite a long time. But the number of cases of pre cancerous changes in the cervix (CIN) will fall quite rapidly.
It is not certain how long the vaccination gives protection for. So far the trials have followed people up for about 8 years so we know that it lasts at least this long. It is expected that the vaccines should last for life but more research is needed to find out if this is the case. It may be that women will need a booster dose at some time.
The HPV vaccine is not licensed for men in the UK at the moment. HPV does increase the risk of other types of cancer including penile and anal cancers in men. However it is not the only cause of these cancers and we don't know how many of these cancers would be prevented by having the vaccine. They are rare cancers and vaccinating all men would be very expensive. It is thought that by vaccinating girls it will reduce the number of men getting HPV because you become infected through sexual contact.
A large project called The HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) Core Messages Study is looking at the scientific evidence about HPV as well as finding out people's views about HPV testing. Based on this, the project aims to develop messages that could help people make informed decisions about HPV testing and vaccination. You can find information about HPV trials on our clinical trials database.
The vaccine is being offered to girls from the age of 12 because they are unlikely to be sexually active and to have caught HPV. The research so far has shown that the vaccine works best at preventing HPV infection in younger women. If you are sexually active before you have the vaccine you may already have HPV and the vaccine won't get rid of it. But there are still benefits from having the vaccine. There are many different types of HPV so even if you have HPV it may not be HPV 16 or 18. Types 16 and 18 are the types that are most likely to cause cancer of the cervix and it is these high risk types that the vaccines protect against.
If girls become sexually active during the course of the vaccine injections it is important to complete the course of injections. It is only after the 3 injections that we know the vaccine is protective. However a recent study in Costa Rica suggested that women who had only 2 doses of Cervarix may have as much protection from HPV 16 and 18 as those who'd had 3 doses. But more research is needed before we will know if fewer than 3 doses gives enough protection and for as long.
The side effects are usually mild and include
- Headache
- Aching muscles
- Redness and soreness around the site of the injection
- Fever
- Feeling and being sick
- Stomach pain
- Diarrhoea
- Itching, rash
- Dizziness
Yes, we will definitely still need the cervical screening programme in the UK. The vaccines don't prevent infection with all types of HPV. Also from the research so far, we don't think the vaccines will help prevent cervical cancer in women already infected with HPV. And it takes about 10 to 20 years after HPV infection for a cervical cancer to develop. So it's very important to remember that women will still need cervical cancer screening (smear tests) for many years to come. There is more information about cervical cancer screening in our cervical cancer section.
